This profile contains a set of parts that allow you to create a base for your Modular Lantern to fit differing diameter LEDs with or without a wire. Or there is a completely blank base where you can use adhesive or Velcro or as the basis for your own base. Many puck lights come with a metallic base to stick to a surface, just stick it to the flat base. The print profile is configured to work without adjustments with the AnyCubic LED Lamp Creative Kit, Tea Light and Puck light. But it's easy to adjust to fit your specific light! Here is a video showing you how: In essence each part consists of a flat base with or without a wire hole at it's edge. The part that holds the LED along with hole underneath are two separate parts. In your slicer go to the object view and you will see them. The negative part cuts the hole and the positive part adds the support around the LED. Measure the diameter of your LED and I suggest subtracting 0.2mm from that to give a tight fit. Multiply this measurement (in mm) by 2. Use the scale tool in your slicer, untick uniform scale and set the scale of each part (except the flat base) to the diameter of your led * 2. Job done, now print, and if it's a bit too tight or loose adjust. If you have a specific LED you would like to see supported that you can't support with this set then let me know the details and I will try to help. Bonus Uses With the modularity there are often hidden uses! here are two I've found so far: Insert the flat base into the spacer at the top of the lantern to block light if the filament you used for the top lets too much through: Insert the Tea Light or RGB Puck Light into the spacer at the top to have an extra light adding brightness, the same remote controls both:
